Groves was disappointing for me. Went in there gun shy looking to sustain stamina and backfired.
Nothing but respect for Froch. That's why he's admired the world around. |

just as in all sports when the 10/1 shot gives the 1/10 shot a scare, the next time they ALWAYS get F@CKED
and nowhere is this more true than boxing |

Well done Froch backers. I bet Groves. Thought he would have too much speed for an ageing champion who might have been to the well one too many times.
Good comment on this thread about the controversial knock out in the last fight being good for Groves. Thought it was a poor decision at the time but after watching the fight again the next day it was clear Groves was tiring badly from the 6th round and would not have lasted the distance. Despite all the hostility in the build up to this fight Groves and Froch seem two top sports men with a lot of time for their fans and appreciative of all the people who have helped them in their careers. |

Hopefully George will now treat Froch with the respect such a champion deserves.

Agree with paddletoe.....If not....not an ounce of respect for George.

Anybody got the stats please as for some reason sky didn't seem to show the punch stats or scorecards? BTW those that say sky was biased towards Froch need to watch the fight again tomorrow and listen a bit better!

You cant knock Groves for having such confidence and a lot of the things boxers say in the build up to fights should be taken in context of hyping up a match. I actually think Groves comes across as a really nice guy but he definitely should congratulate Froch and be genuine about. Froch give him two fights and beat him twice. He should call him a great champion and hopefully one day Groves will be world champion himself.
It was a really nice interview by Froch after the fight. He is some fighter. Very hard not to like him and be in awe of him being such a fighter at 36 years of age. |

Hope that Groves will admit such.....He was on the Paul O'Grady show recently.....With an air and grace,and audience laughter, denigrating Carl.....O'grady himself took part.....A

well that was a satisfying evening
  Tremendous performance from Carl, plenty of close rounds sure but the action was always on Froch's terms. I had it 4-2-1 for Froch but can understand the disparity in scorecards. Was only ever going to be one winner though. Don't think I've ever been so pleased for a fighter. Not going to gloat too much at those who seemed to think George only had to turn up to win but feel those who are trying to spin the "it's boxing, he just got caught with a big shot" line are in for a few shocks in the future. Groves will never beat a true world class opponent imo, just not durable enough...if Sauerland feed him to Kessler it will be over even sooner. As for Froch, the Chavez Jr fight is the one I've wanted to see for a while now, great style match up and a winnable fight under the bright lights. I'm a rabid Froch fan but feel it's a much tougher fight than a lot of people seem to think. Certainly not a foregone conclusion. Degale impressed me for probably the first time last night but again I just don't think he's durable enough to roll with Froch. What a ****g night  |

Never gave Groves the chance to get up. Refs a tit.

By:
are you insane? Paying £17 doesn't give you the right to witness a murder.
Groves was gone, badly gone. The ref's count appeared to wake him up...very brave to even try and get up but absolutely no way he could continue...as clearly evidenced by that fact he had to receive medical attention for several minutes. Have you heard a single person from the Groves camp claim it was an early stoppage? Utterly mental. |

well yeah I thought you might be hence the smilie but when that akak guy posted too I thought some were serious
just watched it again, ****g awesome |

Felt George was a bit powderpuff early doors.
Plenty of bluster beforehand but the man could`nt live up to it. He`s had two bites at the cherry now so his chance has gone for the time being. Frochs legacy was flattered once again. It`s amazing how far tenacity & endurance can be mistaken for ability at this level. |

By:
In time we'll find that George Groves will be a good British & European fighter. He'll never be on the world stage
|

By:
what a suprise mactheknife once again struggling to give froch any credit
Lock yourself away watching Andre Ward boreathons while the rest of us enjoy a truly great british fighter |

By:
Kriskin, Groves has the ability to perform at world level.
He was coming on in the fight before he was caught with an unbelievable shot from the champ. I never saw it coming never mind Groves. |

By:
Alabaster, I take my hat off to the man, even though I feel he got lucky.
He delivered the goods when my man did`nt. |

WIND-UP. Some make it so easy.

By:
Aye,so easy after the event.

Well done ACD I knew you was always keen on Froch barely touched the fight myself, good to see the official scorecards had Froch up one on two and Groves up one on another normal scoring unlike the farce that was SKY last night
|

By:
Exactly, you have a habit of getting things right acd.

Andre ward being hyped up but the guy wont fight anywhere other than his back yard , great fighters will go anywhere , he does look good when everythings in his favour ,like to see him fight out California

outside 20 wins from 27 on the west coast

By:
Just the result I hoped for but daren't predict. I feel the key to this result wasn't Froch because he hasn't had to do anything I didn't think he was capeable of, rather I think that Groves has been hyped up into something he isn't.

By:
the arrogance of the groves camp in preparation was startling really...it was like they genuinely expected Froch to come out and walk straight onto right hands again and didn't for a moment think that Mcracken or Froch would make any adjustments.
There seemed to be literally no plan B and for me Groves's success in the 8th was largely due to Froch sensing george was getting ragged and the time was right to take more risk. Have to say I think Groves took the defeat very well, I'm trying to forgive and forget all the smack him and fitzpatrick have talked in the build up...they really did take it too far for my liking but George can still be in some entertaining fights and it'll be interesting watching him rebuild. |
